Kakine Teiguchi stopped his probing attacks as he was more concerned about the information the other party was saying.
As for Genqiu Zedou's order, he had long forgotten it. Director? He was nothing more than Aleister's lackey. Although it was the other party who gave him the inspiration to get out of the gas power plant in the third school district, didn't he also help him hunt down those Anbu?
He snorted coldly, but did nothing. This was because Kakine Teiguro recognized the other party's strength. The other party was an adult, and a "multi-talented person" who could not exist. This was an existence that was denied by Academy City, but he stood in front of him.
Any contradiction means there is a complex message behind it.
"I don't know why you want to talk to Aleister, but I know that the Chairman of the General Council is not that concerned about this kind of city. Secondly, even if the first person can talk to Aleister, it does not mean that you can talk to Aleister just because you become the first.
Accelerator is very special."
The next second, the attack from Kakine Teito came towards him.
A sphere formed by an unknown object flew straight towards him. Li Mo, who was unable to determine the nature of the object, was unwilling to use the "Soloron Technique". What if this thing exploded and he couldn't react in time?
Not dying doesn't mean you won't be humiliated.
Although I don't care about my face.
Using the magic cannon to destroy Kakine Teito's attack again. Li Mo said, "You know what? Kakine Teito, I'm telling the truth. Accelerator is the special person that Academy City has been waiting for for decades. And he is the only one."
There are two special people in Academy City.
Accelerator and Kamijou Touma.
Both of them are indispensable to Aleister's plan. And Kakine Teidou...
"Aleister doesn't really care about other espers besides him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was attacked even more fiercely. As if he had touched the opponent's pain, Kakine Teito's attack became more sharp.
He was angry.
Matter permeates the air, and Kakine Teito's metamaterial can create a variety of substances that do not exist in the world, which gives him a lot of room for maneuver. For example, materials such as superconductors may be easily made, and even the tough materials needed for space elevators can be made.
His wings have defensive functions. What kind of material are they made of? Li Mo has no idea. Accelerator can directly crush Kakine Teidou through calculation, but Li Mo can't do it.
His brain cannot reach the terrifying computing power of a supercomputer.
"If you want to fight, then do it. It's a good way to avenge you for bullying my men."
"I'm waiting for your tricks!"
A huge amount of matter was created, and Kakine Teiguchi chose the simplest kinetic weapon. But at the same time, he created the scorching sun and the strong wind.
It is not impossible to create non-existent matter to change the conditions so that the lethality of light is enhanced and the light that can be seen everywhere is turned into laser.
"Unreal matter", the ability to create matter that does not belong to this world.
In short, it is to create substances that may exist in another world. It is like creating laws that do not belong to this world.
Would such an ability be useful for scientific research? Using it in combat would be a waste.
The magic cannon defeated the kinetic weapons, and the "Soloron Technique" resisted the attacks that he recognized. But in the end, an attack that Li Mo could not recognize hit him, causing damage to his body, but relying on "Pseudo-Immortality", it was completely ineffective.
Li Mo could even take all the damage head-on, but he didn't like pain.
The battle gradually became one-sided. No matter what means Kakine Teito used, the opponent could deal with it. The subatomic particles created did not exist in the world, but at the moment they were created, they belonged to this world and were still subject to the conflict of the physical laws of this world.
Grasping the strength of the "Unreal Matter", a golden light flashed in Li Mo's eyes.
The "power of the beast" is activated.
The inhuman quality unfolded, and the boy slowly switched on and off, unfolding the technique of the prototype of the Son of God's fall: "The flesh is above, the matter is below."
Definition, reversal. The order of things is changed, and the ritual constructed with "God's Flesh" and "God's Blood", "The Execution of Light" is performed.
For a moment, Li Mo cut off various substances one after another and approached Emperor Kakine. The angel technique of "Light Punishment" combined with "Power of the Beast" cleanly cut off Emperor Kakine's wings, and then knocked him unconscious.
The process is smooth and flowing.
Chapter 365: Then, what is the meeting of the stars in the dance hall?
"Hey, you haven't left yet. What? Are you waiting for me to come, Director Neno?"
The youngest director appeared in the apartment carrying the unconscious Kakine Teito.
The 15th District is the commercial district of Academy City. There are many huge complex buildings here with about 70 to 80 floors. Negome Norito is based here.
The ground floor is a cinema and shopping mall, the middle floor is the office of first-class enterprises, and the upper floor is high-end apartments. Its structure is similar to the "Diamond" where Li Mo once lived.
In fact, the straight-line distance from here to the diamond-like object is no more than one thousand meters.
After kicking the door open, Li Mo could clearly see Genqiu Zedou sitting there. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a flashy suit, and his muscles could be seen through the outline of his clothes.
“Is it rude to enter someone’s room without knocking?”
"Sorry, it's a personal habit. I don't have the luxury of red tape with my enemies. I need to be decisive when necessary."
Li Mo took big steps forward, threw the unconscious Kakine Teito on the sofa, and sat down next to Genqiu Zedou.
"Did you defeat the second one so easily?"
"He's just a kid. It won't take long to play house with him. Compared to the first one, he is still too young. Do you have any drinks here? I don't like red wine." Li Mo said familiarly.
Genqiu Zedou pointed to a location where Li Mo could see the Coke.
——No matter how the world changes, as long as the earth enters modern society, you will always see this kind of drink.
"Li Mo, what are you going to do to me?" Genqiu Zedou said.
His tone was calm, without any panic or nervousness on his face. It seemed as if he was chatting with his friend.
And the content does talk about how the victor treats the loser after the battle.
Holding a can of Coke, Li Mo sat next to Genqiu Zedou and asked, "Have you really faced reality? I thought you would burn this place down to gain sympathy. Or leave from the airport on the top floor. There should be a helicopter there, right?"
The top of this huge complex is an airport that can be used by helicopters for vertical take-off and landing. As a director, it is easy for Norito Nenoki to mobilize a helicopter.
"I have completely lost. Where can I escape to? I have become an object abandoned by those people." Genqiu Zedou understood this very well.
The conflict between him and Li Mo can be seen as a conflict between two factions within the Council: one is the conservatives who want to maintain the previous situation and manage the Academy City based on past inertia, while the other is the reformists who want to put shackles on the increasingly rampant Anbu.
But this confrontation was not fierce. After Shiogishi's death, his legacy was thrown out by the young man in front of him. The huge profits belonging to the "arms trade" were tempting, and a large number of people's energy was focused on it.
An exchange. The director in front of him used his interests to get concessions from other directors. If the recipient is someone else, he can still eat cleanly. But both parties are directors, and the equal status is destined to have a good "eating manner".
They did not agree with the reform, but their attitude was a little ambiguous. They did not want to confront him head-on, but if Genqiu Zedou was willing to confront them head-on, they would just go with the flow and agree with him. If Genqiu Zedou succeeded, everyone would be happy. If not, they would keep silent.
As for counting on their help after he fails? The general director of Academy City is not someone who has a "comradeship consciousness".
Li Mo said, "It's a very normal thing! Everyone wants to add icing on the cake, who wants to help someone in need? On the contrary, you are fighting against me head-on. Why do you want to confront me head-on? I don't understand."
"You were born as a rescue team member, and you climbed up step by step. Compared to others, you should understand better how to weigh the pros and cons, right?"
Genqiu Zedou paused. The fact that the person in front of him was willing to negotiate with him and not kill him directly meant something else.
The entire board of directors knew the cause of Shiogishi's death. The silence of the directors was largely due to fear. The barefoot is not afraid of the one wearing shoes, especially when the barefoot is holding a deadly weapon.
He said: "There are always some things that you have to do no matter what you face."
"Pfft——!"
Li Mo laughed.
Laughing unrestrainedly.
"Director Genqiu, don't you think such words are ridiculous? Well, tell me, why doesn't the Anbu want to reform?" Li Mo looked at the man in front of him with a smile.
Who would have thought that this man, who is in his thirties and looks like a successful person, was a member of the rescue team when he was young?
Rescue work is a harsh job, and it is even more so in the complex environment of Academy City. Drugs, bacteria, electromagnetic waves, and even next-generation technology of unknown origin, and the rampage of the ability users themselves... In this overpopulated large city, there are many risk factors buried.
Of course, this is all real life behind the scenes and has not been made public.
"Why? The existence of the Anbu naturally has its value. Do you know, Director Li Mo, that not everyone in this city can fit into the big environment?"
Genqiu Zedou loosened the tie on his suit and said, "You know I used to be a rescue team member, and I saved many people from various disasters. From blazing flames, from factories filled with drug fumes, or from the center of a storm with runaway ability users crying... But what happens after the rescue? What do you think of those who were rescued?"
"They were surrounded by curious eyes."
"If we had evacuated earlier and been more vigilant, we wouldn't have to bother the rescuers and waste our tax dollars. The rescued people were pointed at by strangers whose names and faces we didn't know...did they do anything wrong? How could they know they would be in trouble in the next second? We can bear all this. But those who were rescued at the cost of their lives have 'disappeared' after becoming increasingly thin."
Missing.
In this city, this kind of situation is not uncommon. Or rather, it is very common.
Academy City is not a city of only light. The shadows hidden in the corners that no one can see are darker than anywhere else.
"So, darkness is necessary. It is necessary to allow people to lick their wounds in peace, and then let them return to society again!"
Genqiu Zeto's tone was firm, he always believed in this principle.
“Pfft! I really can’t help it, haha. Director Nenoka, is this your reason?”
"why are you laughing?"
"Let's put aside the long story. I want to ask you, Director Genqiu. According to your logic, what does Maiden Seimi mean?"
Li Mo asked the other party with a mocking tone.
Chapter 366: Root Hill's Defeat
"Maido Hoshimi, that's the kid you sent to kill me. Don't tell me you don't understand what I mean, Director Neno?"
Li Mo looked at the calm middle-aged man in front of him and read his attitude from his silence.
He said, "Are you unwilling to face it? Let me be frank. The kid Muten Hoshimi was forced by you to become an Anbu, right? I can even imagine your attitude."
"You really just treat that child as a tool."
Li Mo made his judgment and asked, "Do you need to quibble, Director Genqiu?"
Genqiu Zedou said, "Indeed, this is the truth. How can I argue? You and Muten Hoshimi have only been in contact for an hour or two, but you have been able to dig out so much information from her. Director Li, everyone underestimates you."
He no longer used Li Mo's full name impolitely.
It is difficult to learn the life story of an assassin in a short period of time and break through the opponent's defense.
"Director Genqiu, you are still wrong." Li Mo crossed his legs and held up a can of Coke and said, "Maidan Xingjian is a child. She doesn't have a heart of steel like an adult. Moreover, is it difficult to observe this? When the child activates her ability, she can only rely on two fingers. As a powerful person, she can exert the combat power of a superpower. Combining the above two points, we can draw a conclusion."
After throwing the empty can into the trash can accurately, the young director said, "She is like this because of the experiment, right? If you look it up in the library, you can get the answer. But you can guess it without looking it up. Academy City will never lack experiments."
Academy City is 20 to 30 years ahead of the rest of the world in technology. How does it maintain this advantage? Scientists and sufficient research funding are indispensable. Especially with the existence of the Kihara clan, there is no way for those who are not good at research to stand out.
